Indicia display system and method

Abstract

An indicia display system and method incorporating removable and reusable indicia constructed of flexible fabric and / or plastic is disclosed. The present invention permits an indicia tag to be custom generated and then attached to a variety of indicia target displays by means of a non-metallic attaching means such as VELCRO® brand hook-and-loop fasteners or the like. This in conjunction with attaching means for each indicia target display permits a given indicia tag to migrate among various indicia target displays. This mobility permits a high degree of memorabilia migration and reuse while also permitting a safe environment for indicia to be uniquely generated to meet the needs of special events, sporting events, and the individual needs of sports athletes and their fans.
